Chapter 341 Leave Quickly, Don’t Come Back
How could the difference be so stark? Yael was like a little sun, radiating warmth and light.

But Taylor, even when he just stood there and smiled, made me feel as though a snake was lurking, its hiss sending chills through me.
“Mr. Carlyn, sorry to disturb you.”
“Disturb? Not at all. Yael mentioned that Ms. Gardner kindly offered to keep Whitney company, and I’m thrilled about it.”
He said it so casually, but as soon as I heard the words “keep company,” I couldn’t help but feel a wave of discomfort.
Whitney was being held captive–didn’t offering to accompany her mean trapping me as well?
He still wore that insincere smile. “Please, Ms. Gardner.
Damian stepped in behind me, and I explained, “There have been some issues at home recently. My husband isn’t very comfortable with me being alone. Would he mind if there were more people around?”
“No, not at all. Please, go ahead.”
In the living room, Yael poured me a cup of tea.
The house was decorated in a predominantly Western style, with even the tea cups being European in design.
“Hi, Zoey.”
“Yael, sorry to disturb.”
“Ms. White will be here shortly, please make yourself comfortable.”
As he spoke, the elevator doors slid open slowly, and Whitney stepped.out.
This time, she was dressed in a small, candle–style dress looking more polished and elegant, no longer in the white dress she had worn before.
“Whitney, it’s good to see you again,” I said, handing her the gift. “I wasn’t sure what you’d like, so I picked up a few things at random. I hope you’ll like them.”
She slapped my hand away with a sharp “smack,” and even Damian took a step forward, his face hardening has he stared at her with clear disapproval.
“What are you doing? I don’t even know you! Do you have a problem? Do you always make friends this way?” she shouted defensively.
“Whitney, that’s no way to treat a guest.”
Taylor stepped in, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and offering an apology. “Mrs. Bolton, please don’t take offense. My girlfriend has a bit of a short temper and tends to lose control sometimes.”

Chapter 341 Leave Quickly, Don’t Come Back
The Whitney I had met before seemed so vulnerable, she shouldn’t be acting like this now.
“It’s fine. I’m not bothered,” I said.

“If you’re not bothered, then I am,” she snapped. “We’re not even close–why do you keep approaching me? Do you know who I am? Do I know you?”
“Sorry, I heard you had surgery. Please calm down, don’t be angry. I just want to be friends with you,” I said, trying to de–escalate the situation.
“Friends? That’s absurd! I don’t need friends, and I don’t want your pity. Just leave!”
Seeing her cause a scene, I quickly took a few steps back.
“Mr. Carlyn, I think it’s best if I leave now. I don’t want to upset Ms. White,” I said.
Taylor wrapped his arms around Whitney, trying to comfort her, and didn’t have a moment to pay attention to me.
Yael stood up to escort me out, and as I hurriedly left, I glanced back.
Whitney was looking at me, tears streaming down her face. I saw her lips move silently, “Leave quickly!”

The readers' comments on the novel: Even after Her Death (Chloe and Luke)
I take back my compliment and this is another novel I stop reading. Why are there so many chapters missing!!!! If much rather pay to read than read the rubbish on this site...
Finally a good story with mostly uninterrupted reading due to garbled paragraphs, which is evident in most of the other novels I've tried reading and given up on I'm thoroughly enjoying it!...
